LAKELAND, Tenn. — Three young men are still in the hospital after a shooting at a Sweet 16 birthday party in Lakeland on Sunday night.

Sheriff's deputies say bullets sprayed out after a family member working the door told four young men they couldn't come in.

"People hear about a party and they may not have actually known these people. They just say, 'Hey, we heard a party's going on. We want to come to it,'" said Earle Farrell, spokesman with the Shelby County Sheriff's Office.

But the focus on the shooting has quickly turned from the young people who were shot to the person who hosted it.
